William O'Rourke: Vulgarity

Labour Councillor for Greater Pollok ward was suspended from the party pending investigation in March last year after allegedly asking during a council hearing if the child had “wanted it to happen”.

The remark is said to have been made while Councillor O'Rourke was chairing a disciplinary panel hearing into the case of a care worker who was sacked after being accused of raping the girl - a claim denied by the accused.
